Monumento a Cervantes

Including a visit to the Monumento a Cervantes can enrich your day in Madrid, especially if you're exploring the Plaza de España. This tribute to the esteemed author of 'Don Quixote' features prominent bronze sculptures of Cervantes’ famous characters, Don Quixote and Sancho Panza. Designed by Rafael Martínez Zapatero and Pedro Muguruza, the monument was completed in 1929 and stands as a significant landmark in the city. It's a popular gathering spot and an ideal place to reflect on Spain's literary contributions, particularly in the pleasant weather of spring or autumn.
